Phys.org / ALMA observations reveal multiscale fragmentation in massive star formation
Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have unveiled new insights into the fragmentation mechanisms ...
Medical Xpress / Text messages could be key to helping TB patients quit smoking, according to study
Tuberculosis (TB) patients who smoke will recover far more quickly if they can quit—and help could come from their mobile phones, according to new research.
Phys.org / Reversible spin splitting effect achieved in altermagnetic RuO₂ thin films
A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a advancement in controlling spin-based signals within a new magnetic material, paving the way for next-generation electronic devices. Their work demonstrates a method to reversibly ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists build virtual tissue tools to map how cells talk in disease
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called sCCIgen and QuadST, help ...
Medical Xpress / Why some brains switch gears more efficiently than others
The human brain is constantly processing information that unfolds at different speeds—from split-second reactions to sudden environmental changes to slower, more reflective processes such as understanding context or meaning.
Medical Xpress / Ice baths and marathons: Our modern obsession with 'wellness' is driven by ancient instincts
If you've spent even a little time on social media in recent years, you've no doubt come across a swath of "wellness" content.
Tech Xplore / Rome pushes Meta to allow other AIs on WhatsApp
Italian regulators ordered Meta on Wednesday to open its WhatsApp chat platform to rival AI chatbots as it and EU authorities pursue a probe that the US tech giant is abusing its dominant market position.
Medical Xpress / First comprehensive Great Steppe genomic dataset uncovers unique variants
Researchers from Nazarbayev University's National Laboratory created the first large-scale, high-quality genotyping dataset of healthy Kazakh individuals—a landmark contribution to global population genomics and biomedical ...
Phys.org / The sound of droplets striking water: How cowbirds control two sound sources in the syrinx to create 'liquid notes'
Cowbirds are special among songbirds for the "watery" timbre of their singing, which resembles the sound of falling droplets striking water, a quick burst followed by a fading ripple.
Phys.org / Structural findings reveal how distinct GPCR ligands create different levels of activation
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins triggered by ligands (protein-binding chemicals) from outside cells to transmit signals inside the cell. These signals are transmitted primarily through the activation of G ...
Phys.org / An ecosystem never forgets: Extreme heat and drought responses linked to hydrological memory
The low-latitude highlands region of southwestern China experienced two major climate events in recent years: a severe drought in 2009–2010 and an extreme heat wave in 2019. Though both sprang from similar large-scale atmospheric ...
Phys.org / How soil and human antibiotic resistance are connected
A study led by researchers at the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has uncovered alarming evidence that soil worldwide is emerging as a significant reservoir and amplifier of high-risk ...
